Eating and reading really are quite the perfect pair.

I try to stop at the end of chapters, but sometimes I'm a rebel and stop at scene breaks.

Hush now, I'm busy. If you tell me anything right now, I will not remember.

Are you zoned out while you're reading? Do people ever have trouble getting your attention?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Keep reading and filling up those noggins, my friends.

What's something recent you've learned from reading?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

And by sometimes, I mean more often than I care to admit.

When was the last time you escaped into fiction so you could ignore reality?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Readers have the magic that bring books to life, and oh what a privilege it is.

This quote makes me stop and think about the true pleasure of reading and how it connects us not only to the person who wrote it but to the countless others who have enjoyed it.

Who is a fictional character you wish you could have a conversation with?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Books have often provided companionship and friendship when I needed it the most.

Who was your best childhood friend?

My personal Wonderland would be filled with libraries, refilling chai tea cups, and cats who tell me stories!

What would be included in your personal Wonderland?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Sometimes I think I need a sign that says this very thing!

If you're interrupted while reading, does it throw you out of the groove, or can you pick right up where you left off?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

This isn't an argument about if children should have required reading in school, so let's not go down that road. This is about how we present the love and joy of reading...the privilege...the endless possibilities. The author of The Tale of Despereaux has relevant insight.

This is the recipe for a great start to the day.

My ducks are distracted, but at least they're in a row! We have to start somewhere. 🦆🦆🦆

Are you easily distracted when reading, or do you stay pretty focused?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Stories are nourishment for the soul!

I don't want to leave my house, but if you make me, I'm taking my book and my fictional friends!

If you were leaving home with your fictional friends today, who would accompany you?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Let's face it, sometimes we have to go do grownup life outside the house. And sometimes we keep thinking about being at home with our current book.

What is something you were forced to do out in public when you really wanted to be home reading?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

I appreciate every single tree who gives its life to create the books we love so much.

As a child, I used to climb trees and read in the branches, Have you ever done it?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Why yes, I do have more books than I can read.
And yes, I will get more!

Raise your hand if you relate to this!

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

Summer is coming, and evenings reading under the stars are just what is needed, and I'm looking forward to it!

Do you ever read outdoors at night?

[Because all the Books @becausemybooks]

"I met a dragon face to face, the year when I was ten..."

Have you experienced any of these adventures? What would you add?
